Argentina: 10-year-old girl in the 6th month of pregnancy. She went to hospital with abdominal pain

Dramatic events took place in the province of Santiago del Estero in northern Argentina. According to the daily "El Liberal", a 10-year-old girl was brought by her mother to the emergency department of the Colonia Dora hospital due to sudden and severe abdominal pain.

During the examination, the doctor found that the baby was in the 6th month of pregnancy. The mother reportedly told medical staff that her daughter had not yet started menstruating.

During the proceedings, the girl revealed that in recent months she had been repeatedly sexually abused by her mother's partner.

According to Argentine media, 33-year-old Julio Vivas, the partner of her 25-year-old mother, is suspected of exploiting the girl. The woman got involved with the man a year ago and is also pregnant by him.

The suspect was arrested less than 24 hours after the operation began. The arrest took place on the property in El Bracho where the family lived.

According to local media, during the operation the services secured, among others: 22 caliber revolver. The man was charged with a serious sexual offense. The detailed circumstances of the case are still being investigated by investigators.

The girl's grandmother, Norma Gomez, also spoke on the matter. According to her, the suspect allegedly behaved aggressively towards her daughter and granddaughter. The woman claims that she repeatedly warned against leaving the child in his care.

In an interview with the Argentine news station Noticiero 7, Gomez said that her daughter met the man online and had concerns about this relationship from the beginning.

The case also shocked the 10-year-old's teacher. The woman, presented in local media as Lucrecia, admitted that she did not notice anything in the student's behavior that could arouse suspicion.

She described the girl as calm, doing her homework regularly and showing no particular behavior that might indicate that something was wrong.

Argentine services are still collecting evidence to help determine the full course of events. One of the elements of the proceedings is the analysis of a secured mobile phone belonging to the suspected man.

So far, not all details about the girl's health condition or the scope of actions taken to ensure her safety have been disclosed.
